You know my family school?

Hi! Aaron.

Hi, nice to meet you Sophie.

- How you enjoying yourself so far?

- Good.

- You staying here for how long?

- For this semester.

- The whole thing?

- Yeah.

- We got to party!

- We will party!

Yeah, but let's go early so that we can

get the sunset and making a bonfire there.

Oh, it's going to be...

- Okay. Bye!

- Bye bye.

- Nice meeting you!

- And you.

See you later Sophie and Lauren!

- That's Aaron...

- Yeah.

- So... you guys going out?

- No... He's like a...

- friend.

- Yeah.

Vanessa...

Alexy, hello.

Sophie Williams.

Ha, you made it, you decided to show up.

That's ok.

Sophie Williams.

Back in school.

That's where we want to be.

Oh, before we start, I'm playing

this evening with the NYNSO.

As you know, I do sometimes.

I sub with them.

So, anybody who wants to feel more cultured

or... wants to suck up to the teacher.

By all means feel free to come along.

If you bring a ticket stub or, program or something

then I know you've been and you'll get extra points.

We've been practicing.

Chloe, why don't you go first?

Let me guess, something by Bach, right?

Sophie!

You missed my class.

Any reason for this?

I'm not be taking your class, Sir.

You're not going to take the class?

Why not?

I 've just been thinking about that and...

I just don't think it's gonna

be the right thing for me to do.

You just changed your mind.

Ok, well look. You still need to come

until your name is taken off the roster.

We have to talk to Mr. Deacons, and get it arranged.

We have to get your name taken off.

I spoke with Mr Deacons this morning

and I made sure that it was okay.

Well, you still need to come up until

he takes your name off the roster.

Might take him a day or two to get it arranged and...

He said it would be taken off tonight.

He says a lot of things

that don't necessarily happen.

Ok. If it's not arranged for tomorrow

then just come to the class

and it'll be arranged soon.

Ok. But if it's not, I'll wait.

Don't be late.

- So... what you just did...

- I'm sorry...

Sorry...

Megan and Lauren are waiting outside.

Oh... I got to go.

Your improvement is great.

Well, thank you.

Ok... well we just left.

Should you want to come by in 10?

Ok...

Come by in 10.

Perfect, thanks.

Bye!

- You sure you don't want to come?

- I think I might just stay here.

Are you sure? There is like,

lots of drinking and a lovely bonfire.

No... I think I'll just take it easy.

Ok... Have a good night with your book.

Damon Culver.

- What?

- It's the writer.

- Bye!

- Bye Lauren.

- Turkeys.

- Shall we?

- How you doing?

- Good.

- All right? It's this weekend, right?

- Yeah.

If I turn up.

I can remember my last audition,

with Barenboim, there's a haze of...

Well, that's the thing, I can't

remember mine, either. It was years ago.

- You're not really worried, are you?

- No, no, no.

- That would be foolish.

- I doubt I'll get 'em running.

Keith, that would be foolish.

Well, you know me on being foolish.

It wouldn't be the first time.

- Have you let them out yet?

- No, I haven't.

- Are you being a good guest?

- I'm trying to be.

It's kind of further out

from the city than I thought.

Yeah... well. Perhaps with the...

you would have found that out first.

Yeah.

Maybe...

- You still want to be there, don't you?

- I don't know.

It's so nice.

We've been round them, well, there's so many times.

You know what your uncle

will say, if he's still here.

He'll say feel it, not the thinking about it so much.

Although I sometimes want to come

and just kidnap you and take you home

because it's pretty bloody

quiet over here without you.

Now, you are practising aren't you?

No...

Oh, Sophie.

Why not?

Let me know how much, I would have sent you.

Just don't know how I'm paying for.

Anybody else? I know it's

a long way. Thanks for coming.

Sophie.

Everybody, this is Sophie Williams.

Make her welcome.

And...

thanks for joining us.

In fact, Sophie, why don't you play something for us?

As a way to introduce yourself to the class.

Just a way of... saying hi.

I just haven't really prepared anything.

It doesn't matter, anything you like.

- What is your name? Wendy.

- Yes

Why are we going down there again?

To have a good time!

They love you.

We're gonna have a good time.

Hi!

We just had it freshly

painted, so it smells a little.

And we just had this. This was

a kind of an emerald green...

- It's gorgeous.

- It does. We want to bring the ocean in.

How long have you lived in your house?

It's a... sixteen years.

- How long have you been married?

- Seventeen years.

- Got a house, got married.

- Became a teacher.

The house we could have passed out.

I got that in foreclosure.

It was such a bargain.

We would have stayed in the city,

but the house was so beautiful.

Good for you, I mean everybody

we know is getting divorce.

We have been to six divorce

parties in the past few months.

It's a very nice way of saying goodbye.

And sometimes, the best man and the

maid honor come and they separate them,

and you know she sounds beautiful.

You're a good cook.

I'm not, I was...

Well, I have a girl come to the house once a week.

She makes everything, we freeze it.

- It's so simple...

- I have all these frozen squab.

I heard you got a very attractive

young lady over there staying with you.

How 's that going?

She's cute.

- Yeah, it's good.

- Ever make you think twice?

Not that I'm looking, or...

It would be nice to be young again.

- Honey are you ready?

- I'm starving!

I know... we're almost there.

Eats like a horse!

- Are you going to be alright?

- Yeah, I'm good.

Hi Mark, I'm going to take a look around.

Yeah, walk around.

Make yourself at home.

- Hey...

- Hey.

He had to get away for a bit.

Yeah...

These are my favorite people.

- Are you?

- Yeah. I'm just going to take my stuff.

- I could have changed...

- No, it's okay.

- Are we leaving soon?

- I think so.

Why don't you go for a swim?

Go for a night swim.

- Keep your clothes on!

- Oh, come on.

- Should we take our clothes off?

- Yeah, why not, yeah!

One more beer for that.

Here we come.

Oh! that's so pretty.

Oh, that's really...

I like clothes loose too.

Oh cool!

- That's great!

- It's a little toxic smelling.

- I can smell something funny, though.

- It smells like rubber.

- No it's a kind of...

- It's something different.

...like a new car smell.

Is that what it is?

Car...

Oh my God!

I can't catch him.

Oh my God!

Oh my God, it's a TV favourite!

- What do you think?

- It's great. Yeah.

Put the key.

Here. Put the key.

Thank you Momma!

- Sophie, you want to go?

- Yeah!

- Ok, let's go.

- Ok.

Where are you going to go?

We gonna go meet my friends.

- Goodbye!

- See you later.

Lauren text it, breath the rest of the way.

- Where?

- By the school.

- Oh... If.

- Oh no memory lane.

It's too loud!

Turn it down.

Too loud?

It's great!

- Doesn't it sound great?
